We have 120 children from foundation stage (including our nursery provision) to year 6. We recently discovered we were in the top 1% of Primary schools in England for SATs maths results. Our children love the broad curriculum and the many opportunities they have to enjoy after-school club covering everything from Quidditch, rugby and music to cooking and relaxing! If you would like a sneak preview of our school, we’ve made some videos especially for you here: www.stantonharcourtschool.org.uk/newhead

We are part of the Eynsham Partnership Academy, a supportive and forward-thinking multi-academy trust established in 2014, currently comprising six primaries and one secondary.

We warmly invite applications from bold and talented educators to lead our vibrant school into the next phase of development, to build on our reputation in the community and our successes in the classroom.
